<title>Labelling Of Foods Made Using Gene Technology</title>
<proposer id="16469">David Alton</proposer>
<date>1994-03-01</date>
<text>That this House notes the growing public concern about the addition of human genes to cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits and fish; is concerned that scorpion poison genes have been added to cabbages, toxin genes to potatoes, non-bruising genes to tomatoes and that new gene products are already on sale in food without labelling; notes that one food retailer has recently announced a voluntary ban on humanised meat, and some other transgenic products; further notes that there are safety and ethical questions which need wide public debate; and calls upon the Government to introduce compulsory labelling of these new foods so that the public can choose what they are eating.</text>
